how to seed sample data into the mongo db ?

[mrtinkz]

I tried to seed the sample data but looks like if the below command does anything.

MONGO_SEED=true npm start

'MONGO_SEED' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

In production.js
set
seedDB: {
seed: process.env.MONGO_SEED === 'true',

then
MONGO_SEED=true npm start:prod

if got problem
use npm install gulp-sass --save-dev

[mrtinkz]

It's already configured that way, so should it work ?

seedDB: {
    seed: process.env.MONGO_SEED === 'true',
    options: {
      logResults: process.env.MONGO_SEED_LOG_RESULTS !== 'false',
      seedUser: {
        username: process.env.MONGO_SEED_USER_USERNAME || 'seeduser',
        provider: 'local',
        email: process.env.MONGO_SEED_USER_EMAIL || '[email protected]',
        firstName: 'User',
        lastName: 'Local',
        displayName: 'User Local',
        roles: ['user']
      },
      seedAdmin: {
        username: process.env.MONGO_SEED_ADMIN_USERNAME || 'seedadmin',
        provider: 'local',
        email: process.env.MONGO_SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL || '[email protected]',
        firstName: 'Admin',
        lastName: 'Local',
        displayName: 'Admin Local',
        roles: ['user', 'admin']
      }
    }
  }

Also, how does the gulp-sass relate to mongo seed ?

What is the you got error.
if you run MONGO_SEED=true npm start:prod
follow the [https://github.com/meanjs/mean/blob/master/README.md#running-with-user-seed]

I am running it in a command prompt and i get the below error.

'MONGO_SEED' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

check mongodb is running and you are cd your project folder.
try to,
clone master repo.
and run it.

So it doesn't work on the code generated by yo generator ? It should all be same correct ? how would it be any difference ?

[sanathpathiraja]

I use it cloning master repo.
it's work for me.

Probably a problem with environment variables in windows

Thanks, I figured it was a problem with the command prompt I am using, tried the same in cygwin and it worked.
